Visiting Woodville Walled Garden in Co. Galway is an experience that transcends mere gardening admiration; it’s a journey through a living, breathing piece of Irish horticultural history. The passion and dedication of modest owners Margarita and Michael Donohue, are palpable in every meticulously maintained corner of this enchanting space. Their humility only adds to the charm of the garden, understating the fact that they have cultivated one of Ireland’s finest walled gardens over a century at their family home. Adjacent to the garden, the heritage centre is a treasure trove of history, offering insights into the provenance and legacy of including past owners and its connections to Lady Augusta Gregory This aspect enriches the visit, providing context to the garden’s evolution and significance. Overall, Woodville Walled Garden is not just a garden visit; it’s a holistic experience of botanical beauty, historical education, and warm hospitality, making it a must-visit destination for garden enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
